KILTS TO REPLACE
(Correspondence of the Assoclatoil Press.)
LONDON, May 30. Kilts may re
place trousers for Chilian dress. Their
adoption is under serious considera
tion in many parts of England as a re
sult of the government's advice that
men should wear material ot ono huo
to economize in dyesteuffs.
In support of kilts a government
fashion expert says they dispense witli
the nuisance of pressing, and of their
durability there cm be no question.
because Scottish families have passed
one kilt front generation to genera
tion. ,
Another argument advanced in fa
vor of tho kilt Is the advice of physi
cians who say it is the ideal dress for
boys, because it gives them the great
est warmth around tho stomach and
greater freedom than trousers. Many
important ncwKpaperfl have como oat

LIBERTY LOAN FACTS
The Value of the Conversion Privilege
The holder of a Lilicrly (loud lias the privilege, without ex
pense to him, of exchanging his .'('. percent Imad into any new
Tailed States '.'ovcrnincnt bonds which may be issued during the
present war, hearing- higher rate of interest.
This is a most iinporlaut practical reason for deciding to buy n
Liberty llond NOW.
If Hie government is obliged to rai-e the interest rate of any
new issue to sill bonds at par (lull), the present purchaser enjoys
the enviable po-ition of being able to increase his rate of interest by
this exchange privilege.
Furthermore, power to increase the interest rate should cnnblo
the Government to maintain the price of the l.ibeily Loan al or
above par (into.
It seems c.iially likely that ill the event of such increase of
interest rale Incoming necessary, other securities hearing fixed in
terest rales, will decline in price.
This means that the pics -nt purchaser of a Liberty Iloml can
fed certain that he can sell his bond at any lime al piaeti'iilly
what he now pays for il, or more. If he holds other sceinilics bear
in'j fixed iiitcn-t rates, he may have lo suffer considerable o,s in
the event of his selling.
If the war is over in a reasonably short time, he can probably
sell his 1 1,01111 bond at considerably more than $1,000.

Frosecutcr Tells Jury That Mrs.
Mooney Purchased Nitre as Base
to Produce Explosive Used in Mak
ing Bomb Which Killed Ten People
in Preparedness Parade at 'Frisco.
SAN KHANClSt'O, June 11. l'.lcv
en days before a bomb exploded here
last July which lulled ten persons,
Mrs. Hena Mooney purchased about
JO pounds of nitre, declared Assist
ant District Attorney Louis Ferrari in
his opening statement at the actual
heginninc; of the trial of Mrs. Mooney
for murder growing out of the ex
plosions. "Mrs. M'oonev said she was going
to experiment with the nitre, which
is one of t lie liases used to produce
dynamite, nitro-glycerine or n strong
blasting powder,1 said Ferrari. Py
combining- the nitre with sulphuric
acid nitvic ncid is produced, which,
if added to sulphuric acid and glycer
ine produces nitro-glyceriue. The
process is so simple that n layman
with n little study could produce the
explosive.
Five days after the bomb trairedy
the iipnrtnicnt-s were searched. Three
books on dynamite were found. These
facts the stale expects to prove ns
showing Mrs. Mooney's direct connec
tion with the murders."
Is New Accusation.
Mrs. Mooney's alleged purchase of
nitre was not brought out in cither
the trial of Thomas J. Mooney, her
husband, who was sentenced to death,
nor of Warren K. Hillings, sentenced
to lifu imprisonment, us the resull
of the bomb deal lis which occurred
during Ihc course of u preparedness
day parade.
In opening- his address, Ferrari
outlined details of t he dciilh of Mrs.
Myrtle Irene Van Loo, one of the ten
victims for whose death Mrs. Mooney
is specifically charged in the indict
ment. "Two distinct lines of evidence will
be employed to connect the defend
ant with the commission of the crime;
first, her direct aid, and secondly,
that a 'Conspiracy existed between
Mrs. Mooney and the others indicted.
Sleet Jacketed Itllllots.
"Steel .picketed bullets identical in
st.e and make with those placed in
the bomb were found in Mrs. Moon
ey's room.
"As Mrs. Mooney looked down on
the parade from the roof ot the
building where she lived ami saw Ihc
marchers who had not bcefi deterred
by the explosion, she flew into a rage
and declared: 'What n beautiful mess
a machine gun would make of the
marchers below on the street."
Ferrari said the slate would prove
that the explosive contained in a
suitcase was placed on the sidewalk
by the defendants, who went to the
scene of the tragedy in a jitney bus,
Inter reluming- to their home nearly
a mile away to establish an alibi.
To IM.scouragc Patriotism.
Mrs. Mooney was surrounded by
frienils when court convened. The
"silent jury" of union labor men filed
in and took their places among spec
tators without objection from Super
ior Judge Kmtuct Seawell, presiding.

Tho letters sent to Mr. Keet aftor
tho baby's kidnaping the night ot
May 30 wore made available today.
The first letter, received the day after
Lloyd was stolen and which sent the
father over almost impassable Ozark
hill roads, instructed him nilnuately
as to the composition of the $C000 he
was to pay over for the return of the
infant and added:
"We suro got your kid. Don't say
nnythlng to the police or put It In the
papers. There are three of us and
wo want $2000 apiece, so It will cost
you $11000 (six thousand) to get him.
We got another ono picked out, so If
wo don't get this from you we can tell
tlieni to see what we did to yours."
Then followed Instructions as to
tho placing of a light In a building
that would notify tho kidnapers their
instructions wero being compllod with
and a description of tho route to bo
followed. The letter concluded:
"Wo uro going to feed him and be
good to him until then, but If we don't
